Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Chapter 66: A Little Expert in Fermentation

As he spoke, Sha Zhu walked past the pond and headed home.

He didn't want to pay attention to Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu had been waiting for him here. Qin Huairu pretended to ask casually: "Shazhu, what are you carrying? Why does it smell so good?"

"Nothing, just some chicken that the leader left over, so I brought it back to replenish Yu Shui's diet."

When Qin Huairu heard Sha Zhu say there was chicken in the lunch box, she was secretly happy, but her face looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Sha Zhu felt very distressed and asked quickly: "What's wrong, Sister Qin?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Qin Huairu wiped her tears and said in a sobbing voice:

"Yushui is so lucky to have a brother like you who cares for her. I just thought of Banggeng and Xiaodang. Dongxu and I are incompetent and haven't let them have a bite of meat for several months. I just feel sorry for the children."

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Sha Zhu couldn't bear it any longer. With his masculine attitude, he handed the lunch box to Qin Huairu:

"Sister Qin, take this and give it to Banggeng and Xiaodang!"

Qin Huairu held the lunch box in her hand, still with a tearful look on her face: "How can this be? You brought this for Yu Shui, how can I accept it?"

Having said that, she held the lunch box tightly in her hand.

"Hey, Rainwater doesn't need this. I'll bring it to her later."

Sha Zhu looked indifferent and pushed the lunch box into Qin Huairu's arms again.

"Thank you, silly."

Qin Huairu burst into laughter while holding the lunch box.

In the steel mill, it was almost time to get off work. Jia Dongxu saw the scraps next to him and thought about trying his hand with a small one.

But after he put a piece of waste into his bag, he hesitated again.

One is taking, two is also taking, and since you have taken them all, why not take more?

How bold you are, how fertile the land will be. Let’s go for it!

Jia Dongxu put three more pieces of waste into the bag, making a total of four pieces of waste, and tied the shoulder straps of the bag tightly.

Even though it was the first time he did this, Jia Dongxu quickly controlled his expression. He walked out with Yi Zhonghai, talking and laughing.

There are more than 10,000 people in the steel rolling mill. When so many workers get off work together, the scene is really crowded.

The road in front of the factory gate is like a scenic spot during the National Day holiday in later generations. There are crowds of people everywhere. If you look from the side, you can see heads closely packed together.

The security guards standing guard at the door can only maintain order and have no time to check whether anyone is taking anything out without permission.

In this way, Jia Dongxu successfully took the waste out.

Others didn't know that Jia Dongxu stole things, but Yi Zhonghai, who was walking back with him, knew it clearly.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at Jia Dongxu, who breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of the door.

Sure enough, Dongxu, you have collected enough money but you still steal things. I thought you would not be able to advance this time, but I didn’t expect that you would be sent to jail. Just wait, the master will give you a surprise soon!

Everyone in the Jia family was particularly happy tonight. Everyone had a great harvest. Even Xiaodang squinted his eyes and drank the chicken soup in big gulps.

When Yu Shui, who was in junior high school, came back from school, Sha Zhu could only take her to eat steamed bread with pickles and make do with the meal.

At night, Sha Zhu tidied up, lay on the bed, and reached under the pillow, but didn't feel anything. He got up and turned over all the sheets and bedding, but still couldn't find it.

Sha Zhu scratched his head and thought, where did I put the money? I will ask Yu Shui tomorrow if he has taken it.

The next morning, Sha Zhu went to ask Yu Shui, and Yu Shui said that he didn't take it and asked him to look for it again. However, no matter how hard Sha Zhu looked, he couldn't find the few cents.

Sha Zhu stood in the room with a frown on his face, wondering if he had accidentally lost it. This shouldn't be the case.

A few days later, it was the weekend again. Wang Bo had just finished his meal when he heard Yan Jiecheng calling him to attend a general meeting.

Wang Bo was happy to hear that a meeting was about to start. He hadn't had any fun for a long time and felt like he was about to become rusty.

Wang Bo took a stool and came to the central courtyard, where he saw Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui sitting at the eight-immortals table.

Alas, I haven’t seen them for a long time, and they all feel particularly close.

Yi Zhonghai started with a bunch of nonsense, and then said: "Looking at the situation this year, I guess we still won't have enough to eat. The first thing to do today is to discuss with everyone if there is any way to increase the food rations."

Hearing this, there was a chorus of sighs from the audience.

The first lady said, "Spring is coming soon. Wild vegetables are about to sprout. When it gets warmer in a few days, all the old ladies and young wives in the yard should go out to the city to dig wild vegetables."

The third aunt also shouted: "In the grain store, one pound of grain can be exchanged for five pounds of sweet potatoes, but the quantity is limited. If you want them, you have to line up in the middle of the night."

Then a few people talked about some old-fashioned methods, and then the courtyard fell into silence.

"Ugh."

Yi Zhonghai sighed. He was just asking and didn't hold much hope. When he was about to talk about the second thing, Wang Bo stood up.

"Dear neighbors, I have a solution, but I'm worried that the neighborhood office won't agree."

Hearing Wang Bo say this, everyone was very curious. Liu Haizhong said in an official tone: "Xiaobo, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us about it."

Wang Bo glanced around, looked at everyone's eyes, and said with a smile: "We can farm."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong said disdainfully: "You are talking in vain. We live in the city, where can we find land for you to farm?"

"So I think the subdistrict office will definitely be unhappy," Wang Bo stomped his hands on the ground and said:

"We have so many open spaces in our compound. Usually we use them to dry things, store miscellaneous items, and let children run around and play. If we can grow food and vegetables, it will be of some use."

Most of the ground in the courtyard is paved with bricks, with only a small area being dirt. People are used to walking back and forth and never think about it.

Wang Bo continued, "If we plant directly in the cracks between the bricks, we won't be able to grow much, and the yield will be affected. If we only leave a small path and move most of the bricks away, we can plant more. But the three uncles, you have to bear the pressure from the street office."

Yan Fugui grew flowers every day, so he knew a little bit about it. He interrupted and said:

"Xiaobo, you don't understand. The land under our feet is too poor. It has no vitality. Even if we plant food and vegetables, it won't produce any yield."

"Well, we have to call on our expert manure fermenter!"

Wang Bo laughed and shouted, "There is a capable person in our compound. He has dealt with manure many times. When we went to Xinjiang to help with construction, he shoveled manure and made fertilizer on the farm every day. He did this for two years."

Wang Bo paused and raised his voice again: "Come on, let's welcome our composting expert, Comrade Xu Damao!"

When Wang Bo mentioned composting just now, Xu Damao felt something was wrong. After Wang Bo finished speaking, he ignored the applause from the crowd and pointed at Wang Bo and cursed:

"Wang Bo, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the one who cleans up the shit every day. You are the expert in making manure. Your whole family is the expert!"

In the past two years on the farm, as a member of the breeding team, he was of course responsible for cleaning up the livestock manure. As the saying goes, one guest does not bother two hosts, and one manure does not trouble two people, so the job of fermenting the manure into fertilizer definitely fell on him.

However, this job is dirty and smelly, and has become a shadow for Xu Damao.

He thought that this matter would be over after returning to Sijiu City, but Wang Bo brought it up again now and wanted him to continue doing it. This made Xu Damao jump up and down!

Wang Bo looked at Xu Damao, who was angry, anxious, jumping up and down, and talking nonsense, but he did not feel any fluctuation in his heart. He knew that as long as all the people in the hospital started to farm, he, Xu Damao, would not be able to escape this matter.

e on Shit boy!

And this courtyard is starting to stink!
